One double bogey was so disappointing. Yoo Hae-ran (25, Daol Financial Group) missed the opportunity to take the lead by making a double bogey in the third round of the HSBC World Championship (total prize money of $3 million) on the LPGA Tour.

Yoo Hae-ran tied up six birdies, two bogeys and one double bogey in the third round of the tournament at Sentosa Golf Club (par 72) in Singapore on the 28th to post a 2-under 70.

Yoo Hae-ran, who recorded an interim total of 10-under 206 strokes, tied for third with Angelin of the United States. Lee Min-ji and Hannah Green (Australia), who tied for the lead with 11-under 205, will try to win the upset in the fourth round by just one stroke.

Yoo Hae-ran will win his first title as a Korean player this season. At the opening Hilton Grand Venations Tournament held in January, Yang Hee-young (27, Keum Securities) showed good performance as the lone runner-up, three strokes behind the lead at 10-under 206, and at Honda LPGA Thailand, which ended on the 23rd, Kim Hyo-joo (31, Lotte) was left disappointed as the sole third-place runner-up, two strokes behind the lead.

Yoo Hae-ran, who started tied for ninth in the opening game, also tied for 10th in Honda Thailand, and Yoo Hae-ran, who entered the top 10 in a row, dreams of winning this tournament with the sharpest sense of shot. After the Black Desert Championship in May last year, he had a chance to win the championship for the first time in 10 months.

Yoo Hae-ran made his first birdie on the third hole (par 4) and lost one stroke on the seventh hole (par 3), but bounced back right away with a birdie on the eighth hole (par 5).

Yoo Hae-ran, who lost another shot in the 10th hole (par 4), birdied the 11th hole (par 4) again and made three consecutive birdies from the 13th hole (par 5) to take the lead alone.

The 17th hole (par 3) was painful. He made a double bogey and finished the third round tied for third.

"Rookie" Hwang Yoo-min (23, Lotte) tied three birdies and two bogeys for a 1-under 71 to rank 15th with a 5-under 2011 shot.

Kim Se-young (33, Sportat) and Kim Hyo-joo (31, Lotte) lost three shots side by side, tying for 31st, down 20 places from 11th the previous day.

The world's No. 1 Gino Thitikul (Thailand) and "defending champion" Lydia Ko (New Zealand) tied for 20th with 3 under par.
